研究目的
Investigating the feasibility and capability of a long-sensing-length strain sensor based on an optical fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer with HCF-SMF structure for strain measurement.
研究成果
The proposed F-P sensor based on HCF-SMF structure demonstrated good performance for strain measurement with long sensing length, achieving OPD strain sensitivities of 20.42 nm/ and 115.57 nm/ for sensing lengths of ~10mm and ~49mm, respectively. The sensor also showed an OPD temperature sensitivity of 187.64 nm/°C. With its advantages of easy fabrication, low cost, and long sensing length, the sensor has great potential in strain sensing applications with large distributions.
研究不足
The thermal crosstalk for strain sensing has not been solved completely, similar to fiber grating sensors. In practical application, when the temperature varies widely or high-precision measurement strain is required, temperature compensation methods are needed.
